Canning Soft Drinks

There are many different drink packaging options out there, but David Berryman Ltd will always try and find the best fit for you. One of our most popular solutions is canning soft drinks, and this might just be the right packaging solution for your product.

The history of canning soft drinks

Today, canning soft drinks is a trusted process for a huge number of drink manufacturers.

The process involves:

Clarifying the water, as the quality of water can have a noticeable impact on the final drink.

Compounding the other ingredients, to reach the desired flavour and consistency.

Carbonating the drink the required amount, if the product is meant to be fizzy.

Adding the soft drink to the chosen type of container, which is often a can (although there are other options).

Finishing the product with any other packaging details (such as labels), and having it prepared to leave the packaging area before transportation to stockists.

The steps above can often be more complex than it may appear, however, canning soft drinks is usually quite a straight-forward process, and it has been used successfully for a long time.

What are the advantages of canning soft drinks?

Canning soft drinks keeps products safe

Canning soft drinks is a great choice for numerous types of soft drink products. The canning of a soft drink makes the drink light and easily portable, whilst still keeping the drink safe and sturdy. Although glass can sometimes be a good choice, aluminium cans are less fragile and less likely to chip or shatter. Aluminium and steel cans are also sturdy enough to withstand long periods of transportation, so you can have all of your soft drinks reach their destination safely.

Canning soft drinks is environmentally conscious

Like glass, aluminium is also recyclable. More importantly, it is widely recycled by consumers. We think that choosing to can your soft drink is a good thing to consider, as it not only keeps your product safe, it can also show a conscious decision by your company to make more environmentally-friendly choices. Some drink producers choose to use plastic to package their drinks. However, with the fight back against plastic pollution, many are seeking more sustainable alternatives. Canning soft drinks shows your customers that you are aware of environmental issues, as you have chosen a more sustainable material (i.e. aluminium) over plastic. Even if you do end up using some plastic in other areas of packaging and delivery, this is much better than having all of your soft drinks packaged in plastic bottles. Furthermore, additional labels don’t have to be stuck onto the can, as eye-catching designs, ingredients, and company information, can all be printed directly onto it.

Canning soft drinks is an efficient process

Back in the 1960s, bottling machines could complete 150 bottles a minute, but today our modern machines are much more efficient. This means that our drink canning equipment is less likely to run into problems, and more likely to get the job done even quicker. Therefore, even if you are producing a large range of drinks, the canning process means that they can be canned and ready for you even sooner than you might have imagined.

Canning soft drinks helps keep your product fresh

If you care about preserving the great taste of your product, canning soft drinks is a good option to consider. We know that drink developers can spend months (and even years!) trying to get their product to taste just right, and they don’t want this taste to be altered or compromised because of the packaging that is chosen for it. Our soft drink canning helps to preserve the freshness of drinks, helped in part by the choice of an aluminium can.
